HOODS BRIGADE.

The addresses of Governor Ross, Hon
I'D. Sayers, Congressman Martin, ex'
Governor Lubbock, at the Hoods Brigade
reunion Monday, were not only valuable
as displays of eloquence, but also histor-
ical illusions.
The history of Hoods brigade, as
sketched by Major Sayers, stands out on
the canvass as a picture, at once startling,
terrible, grand. At Gaines Farm-one OF
the great contests-the brigade was the
first TO break the enemy's line, exhibiting
a bravery unsurpassed in any OF the con-
aicts of history. The description of the
part taken by the brigade at the great
Battle of Gettysburg, where the Texans
led the assault on Cemetery Ridge-one
of the most desperate charges of the war
was ably sketched, and attention drawn
to the fearful losses, the terrible carnage
of that most bloody engagement
Again, Major Sayers presented thrilling
portraiture of the Texans at the Wilder
ness, when General Lee, placing himself
at their head, Napoleon like, was about to
to ride into the very jaws of death, but
was prevented by sergeant who seized
his horses bride reins.
Without doubt the people of the whole
state will applaud the proposition OF Mr.
Savers to place in the new capitol, when
complete, painting, executed by master
hand. of Lee at the Wilderness; and erect a
marble monument bearing the inscription
Hoods brigade always in the advance)
at the Wilderness, May, 1864"
Yes, not only these, but let other monu-
ments rise which will bear to coming
generations the glory, not only of Hoods
brigade, but the armies of the Lost Cause.
As Major Sayers remarked, "the roll OF
the rebel drum has ceased forever" The
cause which reused hundreds of thousands
of brave men to arms has also been ex-
tinguished forever. But the men who
offered their lives in its defense-not only
Hoods brigade, but all the armies of the
SOUTH though defeated-have, as Mr..
Sayers said, won an indubitable title to
impershable renown, which will be award
ed them by impartial posterity. Their
valor, their fame, will live in succeeding
ages, and shine the brighter as the mists
of time shall gather upon less heroic
deeds.

A REPREs EN1ATIVE SPEECH.

The speech of Governor Ross at the
Hoods brigade reunion Monday was one
Of those representative utterances by a
representative man, which reflects as in a
glass the sentiments of the people of a
whole state. In this address it may be
said the people of Texas have spoken,
and in no uncertain language. In it they
rebuke any attempt, either north or south,
to rekindle the expiring embers of hate
that arose out of the civil war. Their
voice is now, as it has been since the close
of the struggle, for the total obliteration
of sectional animosities, and the rehabili-
tation of the union of these states, as it
existed before the war.
As proof that the dslikes of the great
"unpleasantness" have passed away in this
state, II is true,as Governor Ross intimates,
that all are welcome here, no matter
whether they fought under the federal or
the Confederate flag.
Such sentiments, uttered by one high in
authority, are opportune, and exhibit the
patriotism of one who bore distinguished
part in the civil war himself, but who, like
the people of Texas he represents, accu-
plying the high plane of pure patriotism,
can rise above the defeats and disasters of
the past.

TEXAS MEDIA GOOD LEGISLATURE.

government is n vast business con
Germ, using legislators, judges and state
officials, instead Of clerks and general
managers. In business enterprises, the
most competent and best fitted employees
for the particular kind of work, are en-
gagged, and they are engaged upon the
economic principle that real worth is val
liable and pays for itself In government,
in only one of its branches or departments,
the judiciary, is this method of choice
adopted with any consistency, or upon
any set plan; in the administrative, while
the chief officials, as the governor and
heads of particular bureaus, are selected
with care and upon broad principles of
worth and merit, yet in the minor offices
of this department, and in the legislative
branch, the people are strangely remiss in
their duty, and are working in the inter
est of poor, not good government Here
the man, disassociated from measures or
ability, is the standard; the politician, by
his arts and wiles, wins what should be the
reward of merit and recognized ability.
Especially in the case of the Legislature,
the question now claiming attention, is
this noticeable, and il is cause for lament,
not only in Texas, but all through the
union. Legislative bodies generally, in
the United States, have fallen into dis
repute, because they accomplished so lit
tie and are composed of such poor
material. 1t is not thought our system of
government in the legislative department
is poorly devised. There should be two
houses, fixed and restraining branch of
long term and a popular larger body. The
general scheme is excellent, but it is in
the material, through which its ends are
to be wrought out, where it so signally
fails and wherein ii incurs the odium
now attaching to legislatures. This popu-
lar current of thought can be checked and
turned in the CONTRARY direction by adopt
ing two general measures. First, by making
the Legislative body as small as possible,
consistent with a thorough represen-
tation of all the citizens, and all classes of
interests. In this you would narrow

Enioy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live in!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glens and oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when in perfect health; but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving it
up, disheartened discouraged and worn
out with disease, when there is no occasion

easily obtain satisfactory proof, that

down the responsibility to a few, and in
placing these more prominently before
the public eye and thus making them the
more keenly feel their responsibility as
they stand out conspicuously-the guard
ians of the peoples rights and progress
that patriotic and earnest zeal for the
best interest of the state must spring up
within them a natural growth, and the
means through which the best future can
be worked out for the general good.
Second, by watching more carefully the
composition of these Legislative bodies.
Here severel difficulties are to be overcome.
The bad odor into which legislatures have
fallen makes the best of citizens hesitate
before volunteering to share in the usual
obloquy attached to body around which
should only wreathe honor, and the
dignity of universal respect. As
mentioned, one cause of this is the
absence of generally any really merito-
rIous work accom- plished through their con-
vening, and another cause can be found
IN the class of selections made for rep
resentatiyes and the methods adopted to
gain the elections. 1t is a growing SLAM
der upon our form of government that
the best citizens do not, as a rule, exercise
their sovereign right as voters-they
stay away from the polls and let the
politicians and mediocrity run the cleo
ton. Until this is corrected and the
people, aroused to the dangers of the
drift of modern politics and present legis-
lative abuses, decide to place their best
men in the field, elect them and then
hold them strictly accountable for good
stewardship, Legislatures will be the poll
tician's cesspool, a place of weakness and
corruption, badge of governmental de-
cline. Purify and dignity the Texas
legislature, by making it strictly repre-
sentative body of men, and secure such
men, by showing them it is a position of
trust and grave responsibilities, and then
give them a salary that will be fit com
pensation for their ability, and that will
preclude the possibility of an excellent
man refusing the office, because the de-
mands his family make upon him will
not permit him to devote his time to an
for which only nominal re-
turn is made.

sumption. As last resort the family
was persuaded to try DR.. Vim. Halls Bal

The San Antonio Express says: Gas
will be seen by the Washington letter
published elsewhere, the battle flag of
Hoods Texas brigade is among the cap
tured Confederate banners now in the
war department; also, the flag of the
"First Texas" though whether of in
fantry or cavalry the correspondent does
not state. The government is fully en-
titled to keep these Texas flags, as it had
dell of time getting possession of
them" And, from the way the survivors
of that famous Hoods Texas brigade de-
ported themselves yesterday, it looked as
if they had not single thought or regret
for that lost flag. Its absence did not
bring forth any expressions of regret, and
not even passing allusion. Yes! the
government can have a fee simple in
terst in that bit of silk, if such can be,
and the gallant remnant of Hoods brigade
will never give voice to murmur to the
contrary.

HAD the reunion of soldiers that graced
Travis county yesterday taken place in
the north, and under the direct super
vision of that voluble and inaammatory
gentleman, General FairchIld, would
things have passed off so quietly, so mod
estly, so periodically? Wouldn't there
have been some bloody shirt, some politics,
some interference with the affairs of the
national government, some case of palsy
These are mere idle questions perhaps,
but it is just as we'll to think over and re-
member how pleasantly yesterday was
spent, and how free of everything save of
war memories and other pleasures of a
social reunion of old and care-worn vet

from the location of industries should not
be the only object in view. If such q
motive alone governs the enterprise q
village will invariably bring upon itself a
calamity that will reduce it to an uuenvi-
able condition. Industries that require
cheap labor will be of no advantage to
the citizens, no matter how great the pro-
fits to those interested. They cause the
advent of foreign laborers who take their
wages and live in the village it is true
but contribute very little TO its real welfare,
either financially or morally. The men
who will support the public institutions
by word and deed who will make the village
their home and erect there dwellings and
who will help constitute good society are
those wanted and beneficial to the village.
Care should certainly be exercised in this
direction.
